Engaging tofu-based suspense that even red-meat eaters will enjoy sinking their teeth into

Read all three books non-stop.

After reading Blood Medicine (Book 1) I had to move on to the next two books just to see how things would turn out. Part dark comedy, part mystery thriller, Timmins keeps you guessing ... while generating an unanticipated craving for tofu! There are several memorable characters, many of whom are thoroughly unlikeable, some more flawed than others. All the better to enjoy their torment. A highly entertaining trilogy.

Truth of tofu revealed

This book is the beginning of a three part thriller which opens up the world of tofu and the struggles of one man to make his way in this world. I found it (and the other two) engrossing and fascinating, in spite of the fact that I didn't like the main character. It's a fascinating look at a world I hadn't previously been part of. I highly recommend it. You will enjoy it.

Great read!

try this one. I started reading and five hours later I was finished and needing (not just wanting) needing the two other books. Incredibly fast, easy engrossing to read and so incredibly approachable. I felt immediately i was in a play, totally involved with Charlie as if he were me.I have lent Blood Medicine to three other friends; They are on a wait list for the other two (after I have finished). Cheers and congrats to a fine author, and an even better story teller.

I want MORE!

This first novel piqued my interest so that I had to read the next two.....and then I even want more. I especially think that the author really described the mind set and the actions of the female characters so well that I thought the book could have been written by a woman. This is a timely novel in that it deals with the struggles, pressures, and prejudices the US small business entrepreneurs have to face both locally and internationally in today's business world.
